This is a good find by Colin Savage (Prestwich Blue) from the other place - here is his post in full

'A lecturer in football finance at Liverpool Uni has analysed all the PL clubs' accounts for 2016 and applied a valuation method called the Markham Multivariate Model (MMM). This was developed by a guy called Dr Tom Markham and claims to be the most accurate model for valuing companies, particularly football clubs. For those interested it's a calculation based on net assets, revenue and net profits.

Using it, we come out valued at just under £2.3bn and the rags are just behind us at £2.23bn. Then come Arsenal, Spurs & Chelsea all valued at over £1bn but Liverpool, in sixth place, are quite a way behind in value at £590m. So Sheikh Mansour has nearly doubled his investment.

Here's the full table:

What do the ranking brackets mean? It's not last season's table position and it can't be previous money table position?

It's supposed to be last season's positions but there are obvious errors there.

...So how reliable are the data in the model if they can't get a simple thing like last season's final positions correct?

This is the MUEN's gloomy take on the study, that should go down well with you.

It is only us and Spurs that positions are mixed up, as JC pointed out, so you could put that down to a typo.

This model valued Everton at £216 million in August 2015.

http://www.sportingintelligence.com/201 ... th-210803/

David Conn reckons that Farhad Moshiri paid £87.5million for a 49.9% share of Everton in February 2016, if he's right then either the model overvalued Everton or Farhad got a cracking deal.

It's only a 20% discount which isn't a lot really considering how long everton have been 'seeking investment'

Teaming up with Battlefy to build a big 'fandom' in the United States. Whatever that may be!

http://www.thedrum.com/news/2017/06/27/ ... tournament

UK football team Manchester City is looking to drive excitement and build a fandom in the US by hosting a Fifa eSports tournament exclusively in the region.

The club, part of the City Group that incorporates New York City, Yokohama, Melbourne City, Club Atlético Torque and the rumoured purchase of a La Liga side, is working with eSports platform Battlefy to hold the first Man City Fifa 17 Cup.

It will be hosted on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and will see the best 128 players on each platform whittled down to two on each through a series of heats, culminating in two finals in Houston 19 July.

Diego Gigliani, senior vice-president, media and innovation, City Football Marketing, said: “This is a natural evolution for Manchester City. We’ve been very involved with our partner, EA Sports, and the game Fifa for some time.

“As eSports continues to gain momentum, it makes sense for Manchester City to be part of the action and get closer to our fans, who love playing Fifa as Manchester City."

The activity will coincide with the club’s US tour.

Man City was among the first wave of football clubs to snap up an eSports player. The Drum met up with 18-year-old Kieran 'Kez' Brown at the Etihad Stadium, and that interview, alongside an investigation into why clubs are pushing into eSports, will appear in an upcoming feature in The Drum mag and documentary.
